2. Fission nukes - plutonium guaranteed Not necessarily. Future fission fuel may not be plutonium at all; instead uranium-233 would be used, created by neutron bombardment of thorium, a much more abundant element then uranium. And according to nuclear weapons archive: With deliberately denatured gr...

1) Auction off WB-6 on ebay or like site. Who wouldn't want a piece of the future?? That would only be useful once Polywell is proven. Until then, WB-6 is a pile of junk. 2) Create a lottery for a grand prize of tour of the WB-7 and let the winner be one to activate the WB-7 on it's first burn? We ...

So the fusion products are stopped. How do we further get rid of them altogether, so they won't bother the potential well and cause impurities in the fusion fuel?

A potential target?

Mr.Simon is trying to slowly build a machine himself, his blog about it can be found here:

Polywell does smell a bit, and may sound "too good to be true", but both Dr.Krall and Dr.Bussard admits that there are problems that are not unsolvable, but are very difficult. Yes, I know we should try not to push the "too good to be true" reflex, and the only honest solution I think is telling tha...

They may be even true, but in todays society of of "over hyped" commercialism, it may be a deterrent. From what exactly? Charlatans with nonsensical claims get more money then some promising branches of scientific research. What Bussard really needs to do is push the physical and engineering realit...

Simple question: why would Amazon.com do that? At all?

So, I hereby officially bet you a pizza that the first fusion power plants will burn p-B11, not D-T. You're on. Oh, and I recall various papers and the video talking about putting Polywell in various coal or even fission power plants, in place of the heat source. The reason for this is that you can...

1. Someone rich fund it all in a one time lump sum (Some rich guy would probably love to fund it but given the advanced physics involved here its hard for them to asses if this is bogus or not) Would Dr.Bussard agree to that? Ringgatron was ruined when a rich guy failed to produce the research mone...

If you're going to snag my graphic, I'd appreciate it if you include a link to talk-polywell.org as well. Sure thing, and sorry for snagging your logo without asking. In fact, if you want a single URL, I'd suggest http://www.strout.net/info/science/polywell/, which links to here (talk-polywell.org)...

Where? Sorry, I'm very absent-minded today. Here: http://www.acamedia.info/sciences/J_G/fusion.html Not to much degree, though, if (as Dr. Bussard seems certain) a Polywell machine can burn p-B11 instead. The first machines will definitely burn D-T, and it is very likely that the first power plants...

Oh and here is a document on the effects on highly energetic neutrons (from D-T). While the document uses Tokamaks, it may be applicable to Polywell to some degree.

Another thing: I've heard that you can use the waste heat generated by, say, fission plants to heat houses or induce heat-based chemical reactions? A IV generation fission design (with super-critical water I recall) could be used as such, one reaction would be able to produce pure hydrogen. Since we...

Even with collage students, we still need a core of professional and experienced engineers. There is no way around that. Volunteers might help with the heavy lifting, and perhaps even with the cleaning, and collage students might help maintenance the computers or get some parts, but when we need to ...
